10 Best Seafood Restaurants in Emerald Isle

“We ordered “The Clamshell” with the clams and mussels mix and followed the instructions as printed. Everything was absolutely perfectly prepared and over the top delicious. We used the entire seasoning cup provided and steamed it in Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Ale and it came out great. The potatoes sopped up the broth and it was yummy. We didn’t need the supplied cocktail sauce or butter. Everything was so flavorful. We highly recommend!!“

“Soft shell crab sandwich, seared tuna sandwich, cheese curds, fries and yummy drinks! The hype is real! So good!“

“Excellent food and even better service!“

“We held a rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding at Caribsea! We were so pleased with everything from the planning to the final bill. The atmosphere was elegant and cozy, the food was fabulous, and the service was above and beyond! We had a lot of guests with food allergies… chef prepared specific plates for each of those guests, they labeled all of the food just in case we missed anyone’s allergy (we did buffet style for the majority of our 50 guests.) The final cost (even with an open bar) was a pleasant surprise. I gave Caribsea a budget and they stayed well under - I was shocked. The quality of everything was worth so much more. Everyone had a great time! I want to thank Vito, chef and the wait staff - everyone was so kind and so professional!

Vegetarian options: We had vegan, serious food allergies, and gluten free guests. Chef made plates specifically for their likings.“

“Excellent local restaurant. Great shrimp and grits. Owners are strong community supporters, as well!!“

“Early dinner ... we had shave ribeye steak subs and fries... DELICIOUSLY flavorful!! Tried the appetizer: Chicken Brocolli Cheddar Fritter Balls-- good gracious they were AMAXING!! House made ranch dressing for dipping. Another plus was really nice gift shop on site... plus HOMEMADE old family recipe fudges!!! WOW!! A really nice family feel to this place instead of just a bar hang out joint. Very nice attentive staff working here.“

“We ate at The Trading Post last night. The food was great and the staff was friendly. What stood out the most was how well the staff worked together. They were helping each other, filling glasses and delivering food for each other, the hostess never stopped moving…constantly checking to see if wait staff needed assistance. A great overall experience.“

“Hostess was a jerk..jersey... don't want any part of that“

“Croissants are so good! Very busy restaurant, there was a wait. Ok location, have to park in shared lot with other businesses & walk a ways. Food was good, nothing special. Would eat there again. Waitress was nice.“
